For driving agencies

HGV, Class 1, Class 2, 7.5t, van. AWR week 12 priced in automatically.

Driving is its own beast: shift premiums on top of base rates, AWR step-up at week 12, fuel-related uplifts that move the goalposts. RateCalc.io models all of it so the quote you send is the rate you take home, week 12 included.

The thing driving agencies actually fight with

AWR week 12, modelled into every quote

AWR uplifts catch out agencies that quote on the base rate and forget the cost step-up. We surface the week-12 reality before you send so the margin you pitch on week 1 still works on week 13.

  • Week-12 uplift calculated per role, per shift type
  • Holiday pay accrued correctly under the 52-week reference period
  • Margin shown for both pre-AWR and post-AWR so you know what you really earn
● What you get

Built around how driving actually works

The deep, real features that move the needle for this vertical. Each one ships out of the box, no add-on, no integration to configure.

Per-shift premium logic for nights, weekends, bank holidays

Days, nights, lates, weekends, BHs, all priced as separate shifts. Nights premium pre-set; override per-client if the rate card differs.

Quote a new client in 30 seconds

Pick HGV / Class 1 / Class 2 / 7.5t, enter pay rate, send. The driving-specific on-costs (NI on top of weekend premium, etc) just work.

Margin protection on tight driver markets

Driver shortages push pay rates up faster than client rates. Margin floor warning catches when a quote starts costing you money instead of making it.

Per-client commercial terms (rebates, payment days)

Big logistics clients always negotiate. Hold per-client terms on the ToB so the consultant building the next quote uses the right numbers automatically.

Annual rate review prompts

Clients on 2022 rates? Surfaced automatically with a suggested uplift based on inflation + your floor. No more "we should really put X up" notes that never get actioned.

Margin distribution + decline analysis

See which margin tier wins driving quotes and which tier is dying. Spot whether declines are price-driven or pace-driven (driver-availability).

● Shift premium logic

Days, nights, weekends, bank holidays per role

Per-role, per-shift pay tiers pre-set across HGV class, vans and 7.5t. Consultants do not have to remember whether Class 1 nights is £18.50 or £19.20, the right rate auto-loads.

Class 1£16.00£18.50£20.00
Class 2£14.50£16.80£18.10

Van£11.50£13.10£14.20
Bank holiday premium auto-applied per shift. Override per-client if rate card differs.
● Margin floor warnings

Catches mid-tender pay rises before you send

Driver shortages push pay rates up faster than client rates. Live margin warning fires the moment a quote drops below your floor, with a one-click "lift to floor" button so you never accidentally undercharge.
